Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany of Useful and Entertaining Tracts In the space of six years, a considerable change for the better was thus made on the social condition of the district, which Stouber expected still to improve, when he was appointed pastor of Barr in Lorraine. He was not long in this new situation, when he re retted that he had left the Ban de la Roche; and some time t ereafter, when the pastorshi of that canton was again vacant, he gladly returned to it, to t e great joy of many of his old parishioners. He now remained four years, fulfilling his important duties, and daily improving the minds of the people committed to his charge. Unfortunately, his wife, who was an active co-operator in this plans, died, leaving him forlorn and dispirited; and being offered the situation of pastor to St Thomas's church, in Strasburg, he accepted it, though greatly fearful that, b his departure, the Ban de la Roche would relapse into the con itiou from which he had been instrumental in raising it. Pondering on this unhappy prospect, it occurred to him that if Oberlin, with whose abilities e was well acquainted, could be prevailed on to accept the vacant charge, no fears need be entertained for the continued wellbeing of the district.
